If you’re using an iPhone, you’re likely familiar with the Photos Memories feature. Memories is a built-in iPhone feature that automatically creates collections of photos and videos, which are often highlighted in notifications. While some users enjoy this feature, others may find it upsetting, as it can bring up memories of people or events they’d rather forget, like lost pets or difficult times.
If you’d prefer to stop receiving these memory alerts, you’re in the right place. Here’s a guide on how to turn off Memories on your iPhone.
1. Turn Off Memories on iPhone
If you’re using iOS 16 or later, you can turn off Memories completely. Unfortunately, for users with iOS 15 or older, there isn’t an option to fully disable Memories, but you can still limit notifications.
To disable Memories:
1. Open Settings on your iPhone and select Photos.
2. Scroll down until you see the Memories section.
3. Toggle off Show Holiday Events.
4. Disable Show Featured Content to turn off the Memories feature.
5. If you want to reset suggested memories or people, tap on Reset Suggested Memories and Reset People Suggestions.
2. Disable Memories Notifications for iPhone Photos
If you don’t want to fully turn off Memories but would rather not receive notifications, you can simply disable the alerts. Follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings on your iPhone and select Notifications.
2. Scroll down and tap on Photos.
3. Under Photos, tap on Customize Notifications.
4. Turn off the toggle for Memories to stop notifications related to Memories.
3. Delete a Specific Memory from iPhone Photos
If there’s just a particular memory you don’t want to see, you can delete it individually without disabling the entire feature. Here’s how:
1. Open the Photos app and go to the For You tab.
2. Find the Memory you wish to delete and tap on the three dots at the top right.
3. From the menu, select Delete Memory.
By following these steps, you can manage or fully turn off the Memories feature and its notifications on your iPhone, giving you more control over what photos you’re reminded of. Learn More
